If you’re referring to the Clearances, they were almost all Scot-on-Scot wickednesses. Scottish tenants evicted by Scottish landlords (often their own clan chiefs), backed by Scottish law upheld in Scottish courts by Scottish judges and juries. The dirty work on the ground carried out by Scottish factors (land agents) aided by Scottish police. The English were involved marginally, if at all - as sheep farmers who bought the newly cleared estates, or northcountry shepherds imported to run them. The myth that the English were somehow responsible for the clearances is an egregious piece of recent Nationalist revisionism.

And the Scots doing the dirty work were doing it because they wanted to become part of the English establishment. They were well rewarded, just like the Scots who went to Ireland and laid the groundwork for a famine years by throwing Irishmen off the land where they were essentially self-sufficient so that large profitable estates could be established.

Divide and conquer has long been the English way of ruling their colonies and the fact that they could get one faction to slaughter another doesn't change the fact that it was the English who set the policy and enabled the slaughter.

Nice try, but that's no different than saying that since the majority of the Army that slaughtered villages full of nothing but women and children on the US Plains was made up of Irish and other immigrants it's really immigrants who were responsible for the slaughter, not the Army policy and attitude that, "nits make lice".
